It’s ok to be a racist asshole as long as you’re a Democrat.

South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Dick Harpootlian, who said Friday that he intends to help send Indian-American Republican Gov. Nikki Haley “back to wherever the hell she came from,” was a major campaign bundler who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for President Barack Obama, records reveal.
Obama has yet to condemn Harpootlian’s statement, which a Haley spokesman called “the lowest common denominator.”
Harpootlian made his remark at the South Carolina Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner Friday, shortly before a speech by Vice President Joe Biden. Harpootlian introduced 2014 Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Vincent Sheehen with the controversial remark. […]
Harpootlian was Obama’s only major South Carolina campaign bundler in 2012, and committed to raising $500,000 for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Harpootlian raised between $200,000 and $500,000 for the Obama campaign, according to a disclosure of Obama for America and Obama Victory Fund 2012 volunteer fundraisers.
